mostly found in Europe, RTBF ‘is the right to have private information about a person be removed from Internet searches and other directories in some circumstances. The issue has arisen from desires of individuals to “determine the development of their life in an autonomous way, without being perpetually or periodically stigmatized as a consequence of a specific action performed in the past”.[2]’
If Walter committed minor fraud and is now Wendy, she can avail herself of the right to be forgotten. But if Wendy used to run Walter’s Windows and Doors, I don’t see the argument how that in itself is stigmatisation. Being Walter wasn’t an action.
RTBF doesn’t prevent governments from remembering. Only public facing databases.
